A By the Way PUBLIC official gets paid partly for his abilities and partly for amusement to the public. People like to see an official abused just as they enjoy seeing a dog fight or caged animals poked at. Of course if they have no dog to kick around what else can they do? Little Boy (sightseeing in Washington): "Hey, pop, when are we goin' to see the red tape, huh, pop?" Chewing-gum has other uses than keeping jaws wagging when they have nothing to say. Our Cos Cob correspondent notes that the discarded cuds of commuters have made the slippery ramps safe in the New York Grand Central Depot. These are thickly studded on the slanting brick and successfully prevent sliding by their adhesiveness to sole leather. "Punch" suggests as the best way of financing the next war that the film rights should be sold in advance. From the San Antonio "Express:" And the headlights' fierce glare F. P. A. in the New York "World" quotes an illuminating bit from an advertising agency's circular: "For those of our organization who require testimonials or special posing of moving picture players, operatic or theatrical stars, famous athletes, society people and other famous personalities, there is made available a new service called 'Famous Names, Inc.,' Chicago. (Branches in New York City and Hollywood, Cal.) "The fee for the exclusive use of a star is between $150 and $2,500, depending upon the standing of the star and the length of time the exclusive use is desired. This fee includes the special posing and signed indorsements. The rights to use this service are sold on an exclusive basis, which means a definite protection to the advertiser against duplication in picture names and indorsements. The rights are directly assigned to the purchaser, signed by the star, and assignment is also made by Famous Names, Inc." From a domestic article in a woman's magazine: "If, in spite of precautions, you should one day detect the acrid, penetrating odor of a chimney fire, pour five or ten pounds of table salt down the chimney and at the same time turn in an alarm of fire." From the "Passing Show:" New Office Boy: "I've added those figures up ten times, sir." Employer: "Good boy!" "And here's the ten answers, sir!" Evidently New York City has no corner on milk scandals. An item in a North Carolina paper reads as follows: "Mr. C. B. Moody, the dairyman, announces that he is now in position to supply his patrons with all the milk they want and that he can handle several more new customers, since he has just installed city water, and that the milk is purer than when he had to use branch water." The "New Yorker" tells of a young and, ipso facto, witty member of 'Change and another member who had quite an opinion of himself. One day after a burst of selfimportance from this latter gentleman, the other declares, "Say, Blank, if I could sell you short at what you think of yourself and buy you back at what I think of you, I'd make a lot of money." From "Life:" Beau Broadway: "What's all the excitement down the street?" Beau Forty-second Street: "Some one just saw a farmer entering the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company." An English hostess was very proud over the elevation of one of her family to the House of Lords. "This makes the second of our family in the Peers," she remarked to one of her callers. "Have you any relation in the House of Lords?" "No," was the calm reply, "but I have two maiden aunts in the Kingdom of Heaven." A gentleman pushed the button to an apartment on the sixty-fourth floor, seeking a Mr. Jones. "Mr. Jones," said the lady who opened the door, "has moved out of this neighborhood. I think you will probably find him on the thirtieth floor." The following acrostic is taken from a newspaper clipping found in an old, old scrap-book. The initial capital letters spell "My boast is in the glorious cross of Christ," and the words in italic, when read from top to bottom and from the bottom to the top, make the Lord's Prayer: Make known the Gospel truth, our Father King; Yield us thy grace, dear Father, from above; Bless us with hearts which feelingly can sing Our life thou art for ever, God of love. Assuage our griefs in love for Christ, we pray, Since the bright Prince of Heaven and glory died! Took all our shame, and hallowed the display, In first be-ing man, and then being crucified. Stupendous God! thy grace and power make known In Jesus' name, let all the world rejoice, New labors in thy heavenly Kingdom own. That blessed Kingdom, for thy saints the choice! How vile to come to thee, is all our cry, Reclining on the Gospel, let us live, O give us grace and lead us on thy way; peace; Self and this sin, which rise against us, slay; Oh! grant each day our trespass-es may cease, Forgive our evil deeds that oft we do. Convince us daily of them to our shame, Help us with heavenly bread; forgive us too Recurrent lusts, and we adore thy name. In thy forgive-ness, we as saints can die, Since, for us and our trespasses so high, Thy Son, our Saviour, bled on Calvary.

Thirteenth Edition, the ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA has inaugurated a radical change in publishing policy-a change which makes it possible for YOU to secure this new Britannica AT ONCE-at a sweeping reduction in price! Another Britannica Triumph Hitherto, it has been the custom of all publishers to bring out new important works in a single high-priced edition. But the result has always been that only the well-to-do could afford such a book while it was new. Why This Offer Is Made Because the Britannica is primarily an educational institution-both the editors and publishers were anxious to give it the widest possible distribution. But, to follow old-time custom would mean that thousands and thousands of persons of moderate income would be compelled to put off buying their sets for many monthsperhaps for years. And so it was decided to give everyone an equal opportunity to obtain this complete new Thirteenth Edition now, at a price that means a saving of more than 40% as compared with the more expensively bound Cambridge Issue. How You Can Save 40% To give YOU this amazing opportunity 15,000 sets of the complete new 13th Edition have been bound in the NEW FORM-a method first introduced by this Company two years ago when more than 60,000 sets of the former or 12th Edition were sold. The NEW FORM is in many respects the most attractive, compact and convenient form in which the ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA has ever been issued. The specifications of the NEW FORM are: (1) Large type, easy to read. (2) Complete and latest text (noth ing omitted, nothing altered). (3) Fully illustrated. (All the original plates, maps, etc.) ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA THIRTEENTH EDITION 1926 (4) Sweeping reduction in price. (More than 40% below the price of the famous Cambridge Issue.) How We Can Do It First, by means of mass production. More than 22 acres of floor space were required at our printing plants to produce this Thirteenth Edition in the NEW FORM rapidly and economically. Huge orders were placed for all materials. Second, by binding the 32 volumes as 16 (two volumes in one cover), thus saving 50% of the binding cost. FORM from the same plates Third, by printing the NEW used in the higher-priced Cambridge Issue, thus saving the cost of resetting 33,000 pages of type. What You Get You get in the NEW FORM everything contained in the more expensive Cambridge Issue -and at an amazing bargain! You get the same 45,000 separate articles, by more than 2,500 world-famous authorities covering every branch and every avenue of human activity, from the beginning of the world, right down to this very hour. Such famous men and women as Albert Einstein, founder of the Theory of Relativity, Henry Ford, Bernard Shaw, Marshal Foch, Sigmund Freud, Andrew W. Mellon, L. Trotsky, Joseph Caillaux, Dr. Adolph Lorenz, Senator Marconi, George Eastman, Mme. Curie, Dame Millicent Fawcett, and Suzanne Lenglen, are numbered among these contributors.
